Why do a lot of people scoff at using psychics in police cases?

Question : Why do a lot of people scoff at using psychics in police cases?

I know a lot of people who just scoff at psychics. I’ve had a few readings and nothing has ever come of them. But I don’t label them all frauds. A lot of police departments use them. However, are they ever given any credit if they are right on the mark and the person is found due to their information? I know if they don’t come up with anything, they are automatically labeled frauds. Lots of times the psychics are called in very late as a last resort. I’m sorry, I’d let the police do their work but I sure as heck would also be working the other end with a psychic covering all bases. Who cares who is right in the end as long as your loved one is found?

Answer by Serpico7My father has worked as a forensic scientist for most of his life. He says they are professional scammers or weird people who just get lucky sometimes. Hey, I’ll believe my dad.

Answer by Cheffy DWhy can’t psychics predict lottery numbers?

There is a lot more to life than what we know, but there is no proof that psychics work in any practical way.

Answer by TakfamIf psychic power had any real use. The government would have taken it and used it in the military by now.

Answer by kano7_1985Because psychic powers do not exist and theses people are, in general, frauds out to make money from vulnerable people, You should read up on the case of the alleged psychic Sylvia Brown to get my point.

Answer by timssterlingIts important because we dont want to be wasting an investigators time chasing “feelings” about what happened. We want that person to be following leads, evidence, making rational decisions as thats the only known way to solve a crime. If he wastes his time following a psychic’s feeling thats bad because thats time he could spend figuring out the crime.

Answer by Isabel JI don’t believe in psychics. I believe in simple coincidences or lucky guesses. But psychics, in general, are scammers. They just say they’re what they are, to make money. And because of that, idiots tend to fall into their little mind tricks, just to see who they’ll fall in love with or when they’ll fall in love or what kind of job they’ll have in the near future. It’s stupid, because you might not even fall in love, get that job, and whatever else the person is saying. But yeah, psychics aren’t completely real, but in some cases, they might just be. I just see them as people, who use guesses as a way of scamming people out of their money.

Answer by TunsaThere are events that occur that cannot be described by our standard sciences and cannot easily be tested using the scientific method. There are many people who believe that anything that can’t be explained by science is a hoax.

I have a strong respect for science, but I do recognize that our current sciences do not have answers for all of the questions. There is still a great deal to learn. Psychics are using skills and detecting stimuli that cannot easily be measured using standard science. Does that mean that it doesn’t exist, or maybe we need to adjust our understanding of science to include these “unexplainable phenomenon”.

There are fakers out there and scam artists. There are other people who actually have helped the police when they had no other clues. Why would the police continue to call psychics if they didn’t believe that they could help resolve a case?

In order to continue learning, we must all stay open minded but also be reasonable in our evaluations. The people who scoff at psychics have probably never met a real psychic or had any experiences that would cause them to question their beliefs. I don’t fault them for their beliefs, but I do hope that they will meet somebody in the future that will help them to understand what they have been dismissing as fraud.

Answer by Penguin_BobIgnorance is bliss, I suppose. I personally don’t believe in psychics, but am in favor or anything that helps solve crimes. There are enough documented cases where information from psychics *has* proved accurate. Coincidence? Perhaps, but to scoff at the possibility is true ignorance.

Question : Does anyone know of a good psychic in the West Hollywood area?

I love going to psychics for fun and I don’t know of any of them around West Hollywood/Los Angeles that are decent. Any help is appreciated!

Answer by AnarchristIf by good you mean accurate, then there are none. Psychics are all frauds. James Randi offers $ 1,000,000 prize to anyone who can demonstrate true psychic abilities. He also demonstrates how psychic reading are done and does them himself – http://www.randi.org/

Question : Are there any psychics out there that are willing to talk for free?

I know you guys are out there – the ones that don’t charge money for their amazing gifts because my mother speaks to one frequently. She doesn’t charge her a penny, and is accurate on everything she tells her.

Some of you are just here to help people, not in it to make money, I know. So please! I’ve been trying to find someone!

Answer by MatthewPsychics are false. They use demons and are full of lies. Make sure you are saved then have Jesus help you out with your life. Please pray a sincere prayer with all of your heart admitting to Jesus you are a sinner. Have full faith that His blood pays off all of your sins and accept His gift of everlasting life. I pray that God blesses you with peace. Amen.

Hello Tana! ﻿ I have a friend who want to develop her gifts as a psychic and/or medium. She is not sure where her gifts lie. To whom can she turn? I would be happy to journey with her–but I do not believe I have those spectacular gifts. Who can mentor her?

This past Saturday afternoon I was playing around with a ouija board online and about 2 O’clock the next morning I recieved 14 calls from what sounded﻿ like a demon from a number that is’nt in service and I was wondering if it was for real or just some one playing a joke on me.
